Chris Feliciano Arnold discusses his book The Third Bank of the River: Power and Survival in the Twenty-First-Century Amazon. He takes a close look at the war over the Amazon River, as activists, locals and indigenous tribes struggle to save it from the threat of loggers, drug lords, and corrupt cops and politicians.

On June 7, Arnold will be on the panel "Reaching Readers, Building Empathy: How Books Can Raise Awareness of Places and People Beyond U.S. Borders" at the National Book Foundation--Why Reading Matters Conference. 

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
